Its meta AF atm, but the last thread is sooooo stale. The Game surprisingly continues! Infernius is borderline suicidal with a stalker, Trump and Tracy finally got engaged, Torcuil is in hiding, Norfilly is eating candy, Taylor is getting praise and adoration, Alex is a statue, Yak Lee is the surprise contender in the Fight Club,... yeah so stuff.

Nothing apparent aside from bugs and the occasional wee lizard. As the ground becomes increasingly moist and the surroundings increasingly less hospitable, the trail is harder to determine, as its not a straight path but makes many curves and turns at various points.

If by any means at all possible, Trumpaladin communicates the following to Fae
"Path off of the main logging rode, partly disguised, find it and follow it. Single file line towards swamp. Have the men leave their horses there. Tell them have weapons drawn and be ready, look for danger. If you are ambushed, you'll have to fight it out, and call me."

Technically having an empathic link with Fae (cuz mount) communicated.
The tracks appear to curve around the edge of a large bog. The ground - though moist - appears fairly well traveled both along the perimeter and leading to and from it. It seems that a variety of life uses this bog for a variety of purposes.

Its only part of a fish, and its rotten AF, but it appears to have come from nearby, possibly even the bog that you're near. You're welcome to check, but ew.
>>27825
There are sparse, mossy covered trees, many of which have observable rot or decay, though some seem pretty solid. The area is more clear to the south-west, suggesting that it would be more hospitable to bipeds.

Bug sounds decrease (but never cease) as along the path there appear to be edifices. Nothing particularly well-refined, but sticks tied to sticks, and the occasional hanging-mass (moss, sticks, and,... stuff?).

You know, ferns and trees and brush and shit. Its the edge of a swamp, with moss and lots of overgrown-greenery.
Brown is bog praise be, Blue is current location. Its more lit than previous areas (less tree overgrowth). With Tracy and Trump's gradual and elevated approach (no contact with ground means uber-silent) they are able to determine that this is a(the) troll encampment. A central fire cooks otherwise spoiled meat, spare weapons (crude javelins and throwing axes and clubs) adorn a rack nearby, sounds of other trolls can be heard from further on.

Nah, circle around the rear end of the dragon (fly over water) as stealthily as possible, and get a better view first.
Then make a ride-by sneak attack on its wing (use poison)
Only he first attacjk is a sneak attack, but the Quickened blade can attack two more times after, so rolling 3d20 after the charge.
After that ride-by attack, fuck off asap.

Idk why you want to waste time by following the path and then end up in the Dragon's shooting range, when you have the opportunity to make a surprise attack and still end up in the same place in front of the dragon.
You don't charge dragons head-on.
